Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I went to Paragon who took the blade from the wallet key and replaced the fob with another remote unit.

I've read the other recent threads re replacement keys and remotes, but has anyone replaced a missing "spare" key for a mk11 996?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've read the other recent threads re replacement keys and remotes, but has anyone replaced a missing "spare" key for a mk11 996? This is the third key supplied as original, and designed to be kept in your wallet. It has no remote function. Porsche tell me it's now obsolete, which seems odd. If anyone knows of a source, I'd be grateful. Jon

POST 2Original post

Ask them for part number 996.538.932.00. £75.66 +vat. They can order it ready-cut using the VIN. I bought one when I first got my C2 as it didn't come with a spare. It sat in the kitchen drawer until the day I sold the car! It was comforting to have though.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Richard, Yet again you've come up trumps. What a star! Many thanks Jon

POST 4Original post

When i got my 996 i had just one remote key and the "wallet" key. I went to Paragon who took the blade from the wallet key and replaced the fob with another remote unit. ......£150. I believe they quoted me an extra £70 if i wanted a new blade cut as well. Martyn
